Hay, you didn't just make beer... You also made vegimite! Take that yeast cake, add some spice, and spread it on some toast! Might hold you over till the beer is actually done... (Note, I've never actually made beer or home made vegimite myself. YRMV)

Today, Ryan and I racked (that's fancy homebrew language for "moved") our beer from its primary fermentation into its secondary fermentation. We know now that we probably moved it a little early, but since we're learning and everything, we'll just chalk it up to experience and hope for the best....

Wow... So many memories. Mostly of Princes Dept. Store in the small town of Oroville, WA. Street Fighter II, Gauntlet, Rygar, Willow... Centipede at Theodore Bruins. Joust at Eisons Gas Station...
Most of my distant memory stimulus, however, is currently taken up with Final Fantasy and how it opened up the world of computer role playing for me. I just downloaded 1 and 2 on my iPhone. Man did Square Enix do a good job translating them over. I think FF2 is my favorite game of all time. It was hard to get into p&p rpgs when no one else in my small town was that interested.

I truly believe the NES and FF changed my life for the better by helping to open up my imagination.

I'm sure it's an enormous surprise to learn that I've spent a lot of time recently thinking about games and gaming, so I've found myself looking through old blog posts for research, inspiration, and to confirm or deny that strange "I think I've written about this idea before..." tingle that's re...

I had a fun experience with my wife while watching BBT last night. She refuses to admit that she is any kind of geek, so I often call her a "closet geek".
When Sheldon dumps the tray with 30 pieces of silverware on the table, my wife started laughing so hard, I thought she'd bust her gut... She had to explain to me about Judas and the silver...
Who's the geek now Amy? :P
BBT - Proving to geeks how geeky their "non" geek spouses really are!

I love that this line has been immortalized in T-shirt form , not only because it's one of the funniest in the episode, but when we were rehearsing the scene it comes from, I grew a level in comedy acting: During one of the run throughs, when Jim did his Klingon bit, I turned to Kevin and as...
